Empire Polo Club is a sprawling 1,000-acre event venue in Indio's Coachella Valley, approximately 22 miles southeast of Palm Springs. Originally founded in 1987 as a premier polo facility, it has evolved into one of Southern California's most versatile event destinations, hosting everything from intimate corporate gatherings to massive festivals accommodating up to 90,000 guests. The venue's distinctive character stems from its dramatic landscape: lush gardens, tree-lined polo fields, and multiple event spaces ranging from 4,000 to 48,000 square feet. Four signature venues, The Rose Garden, Hacienda del Toro, Medjhool Lake, and The Forum, offer flexible configurations for weddings, festivals, and large-scale productions. Most spaces overlook the iconic polo grounds, providing spectacular desert vistas. The property's entertainment options extend beyond traditional performances to include exhibition polo matches, hot air balloon rides, and golf cart polo games. Since 1993, Empire Polo Club has served as the annual home of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Festival, cementing its reputation as a premier festival venue. The grounds' combination of sophisticated infrastructure, natural beauty, and operational flexibility make it a preferred choice for promoters seeking a distinctive desert setting with world-class event capabilities.
